Dear Americans: Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan
reviewed on + 471 more book reviews


During the busiest times of his presidency, Ronald Reagan took time out to respond to dozens of letters each week from the many friends and private citizens who wrote to him about their concerns. These letters, collected in the President's "Handwriting File," have never been examined by historians. Now Ralph E. Weber and his son, Ralph A. Weber, have culled the best of this collection, arranged chronologically to track the course of political events during the eight years of Reagan's presidency. A fascinating glimpse at the issues facing the US during the 1980's.
